More often than not, it's difficult to see the gap in sensor dimensions purely by looking through a spec sheet. The image here may offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the GH5 II and A6600.

Clearly, both of the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The GH5 II featuring a smaller sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sony A6600 will provide you with greater detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop images a little more aggressively. The newer GH5 II will have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
